Ezekiel 18:5 (WEB) World English Bible

1 The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
2 What do you mean , that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
3 As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.
5 But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
6 and has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbor's wife, neither has come near to a woman in her impurity,
7 and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
8 he who has not given forth on interest, neither has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
9 has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, says the Lord Yahweh.
10 If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
11 and who does not any of those duties, but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
12 has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
13 has given forth on interest, and has taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live: he has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be on him.
14 Now, behold, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father's sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not such like;
15 who has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
16 neither has wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, neither has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
17 who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
19 Yet say you , Why does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? when the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
20 The soul who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
21 But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Yahweh; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
24 But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Aren't your ways unequal?
26 When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies therein; in his iniquity that he has done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Yet says the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways, says the Lord Yahweh. Return you , and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yahweh: therefore turn yourselves, and live.
1 The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me again, saying, H559
2 What H4100 mean ye , that ye H859 use H4911 this H2088 H853 proverb H4912 concerning H5921 the land H127 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 The fathers H1 have eaten H398 sour grapes, H1155 and the children's H1121 teeth H8127 are set on edge H6949 ?
3 As I H589 live, H2416 saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD, H3069 ye shall not H518 have H1961 occasion any more H5750 to use H4911 this H2088 proverb H4912 in Israel. H3478
4 Behold H2005 , all H3605 souls H5315 are mine ; as the soul H5315 of the father, H1 so also the soul H5315 of the son H1121 is mine : the soul H5315 that sinneth, H2398 it H1931 shall die. H4191
5 But if H3588 a man H376 be H1961 just, H6662 and do H6213 that which is lawful H4941 and right, H6666
6 And hath not H3808 eaten H398 upon H413 the mountains, H2022 neither H3808 hath lifted up H5375 his eyes H5869 to H413 the idols H1544 of the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 neither H3808 hath defiled H2930 his neighbor's H7453 wife, H802 neither H3808 hath come near H7126 to H413 a menstruous H5079 woman, H802
7 And hath not H3808 oppressed H3238 any, H376 but hath restored H7725 to the debtor H2326 his pledge, H2258 hath spoiled H1497 none H3808 by violence, H1500 hath given H5414 his bread H3899 to the hungry, H7457 and hath covered H3680 the naked H5903 with a garment; H899
8 He that hath not H3808 given forth H5414 upon usury, H5392 neither H3808 hath taken H3947 any increase, H8636 that hath withdrawn H7725 his hand H3027 from iniquity H4480 H5766 , hath executed H6213 true H571 judgment H4941 between H996 man H376 and man, H376
9 Hath walked H1980 in my statutes, H2708 and hath kept H8104 my judgments, H4941 to deal H6213 truly; H571 he H1931 is just, H6662 he shall surely live H2421 H2421 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
10 If he beget H3205 a son H1121 that is a robber, H6530 a shedder H8210 of blood, H1818 and that doeth H6213 the like H251 to any one H4480 H259 of these H4480 H428 things ,
11 And that H1931 doeth H6213 not H3808 H853 any H3605 of those H428 duties , but H3588 even H1571 hath eaten H398 upon H413 the mountains, H2022 and defiled H2930 his neighbor's H7453 wife, H802
12 Hath oppressed H3238 the poor H6041 and needy, H34 hath spoiled H1497 by violence, H1500 hath not H3808 restored H7725 the pledge, H2258 and hath lifted up H5375 his eyes H5869 to H413 the idols, H1544 hath committed H6213 abomination, H8441
13 Hath given forth H5414 upon usury, H5392 and hath taken H3947 increase: H8636 shall he then live H2421 ? he shall not H3808 live: H2421 he hath done H6213 H853 all H3605 these H428 abominations; H8441 he shall surely die H4191 H4191 ; his blood H1818 shall be H1961 upon him.
14 Now, lo, H2009 if he beget H3205 a son, H1121 that seeth H7200 H853 all H3605 his father's H1 sins H2403 which H834 he hath done, H6213 and considereth, H7200 and doeth H6213 not H3808 such like,
15 That hath not H3808 eaten H398 upon H5921 the mountains, H2022 neither H3808 hath lifted up H5375 his eyes H5869 to H413 the idols H1544 of the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 hath not H3808 defiled H2930 his neighbor's H7453 H853 wife, H802
16 Neither H3808 hath oppressed H3238 any, H376 hath not H3808 withheld H2254 the pledge, H2258 neither H3808 hath spoiled H1497 by violence, H1500 but hath given H5414 his bread H3899 to the hungry, H7457 and hath covered H3680 the naked H5903 with a garment, H899
17 That hath taken off H7725 his hand H3027 from the poor H4480 H6041 , that hath not H3808 received H3947 usury H5392 nor increase, H8636 hath executed H6213 my judgments, H4941 hath walked H1980 in my statutes; H2708 he H1931 shall not H3808 die H4191 for the iniquity H5771 of his father, H1 he shall surely live H2421 H2421 .
18 As for his father, H1 because H3588 he cruelly oppressed H6231 H6233 , spoiled H1497 his brother H251 by violence, H1499 and did H6213 that which H834 is not H3808 good H2896 among H8432 his people, H5971 lo, H2009 even he shall die H4191 in his iniquity. H5771
19 Yet say H559 ye, Why H4069 ? doth not H3808 the son H1121 bear H5375 the iniquity H5771 of the father H1 ? When the son H1121 hath done H6213 that which is lawful H4941 and right, H6666 and hath kept H8104 H853 all H3605 my statutes, H2708 and hath done H6213 them , he shall surely live H2421 H2421 .
20 The soul H5315 that sinneth, H2398 it H1931 shall die. H4191 The son H1121 shall not H3808 bear H5375 the iniquity H5771 of the father, H1 neither H3808 shall the father H1 bear H5375 the iniquity H5771 of the son: H1121 the righteousness H6666 of the righteous H6662 shall be H1961 upon H5921 him , and the wickedness H7564 of the wicked H7563 shall be H1961 upon H5921 him.
21 But if H3588 the wicked H7563 will turn H7725 from all H4480 H3605 his sins H2403 that H834 he hath committed, H6213 and keep H8104 H853 all H3605 my statutes, H2708 and do H6213 that which is lawful H4941 and right, H6666 he shall surely live H2421 H2421 , he shall not H3808 die. H4191
22 All H3605 his transgressions H6588 that H834 he hath committed, H6213 they shall not H3808 be mentioned H2142 unto him : in his righteousness H6666 that H834 he hath done H6213 he shall live. H2421
23 Have I any pleasure at all H2654 H2654 that the wicked H7563 should die H4194 ? saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD: H3069 and not H3808 that he should return H7725 from his ways H4480 H1870 , and live H2421 ?
24 But when the righteous H6662 turneth away H7725 from his righteousness H4480 H6666 , and committeth H6213 iniquity, H5766 and doeth H6213 according to all H3605 the abominations H8441 that H834 the wicked H7563 man doeth, H6213 shall he live H2421 ? All H3605 his righteousness H6666 that H834 he hath done H6213 shall not H3808 be mentioned: H2142 in his trespass H4604 that H834 he hath trespassed, H4603 and in his sin H2403 that H834 he hath sinned, H2398 in them shall he die. H4191
25 Yet ye say, H559 The way H1870 of the Lord H136 is not equal H8505 H3808 . Hear H8085 now, H4994 O house H1004 of Israel; H3478 Is not H3808 my way H1870 equal H8505 ? are not H3808 your ways H1870 unequal H3808 H8505 ?
26 When a righteous H6662 man turneth away H7725 from his righteousness H4480 H6666 , and committeth H6213 iniquity, H5766 and dieth H4191 in H5921 them ; for his iniquity H5766 that H834 he hath done H6213 shall he die. H4191
27 Again , when the wicked H7563 man turneth away H7725 from his wickedness H4480 H7564 that H834 he hath committed, H6213 and doeth H6213 that which is lawful H4941 and right, H6666 he H1931 shall save his soul alive H2421 H853 H5315 .
28 Because he considereth, H7200 and turneth away H7725 from all H4480 H3605 his transgressions H6588 that H834 he hath committed, H6213 he shall surely live H2421 H2421 , he shall not H3808 die. H4191
29 Yet saith H559 the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 The way H1870 of the Lord H136 is not equal H8505 H3808 . O house H1004 of Israel, H3478 are not H3808 my ways H1870 equal H8505 ? are not H3808 your ways H1870 unequal H3808 H8505 ?
30 Therefore H3651 I will judge H8199 you , O house H1004 of Israel, H3478 every one H376 according to his ways, H1870 saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069 Repent, H7725 and turn H7725 yourselves from all H4480 H3605 your transgressions; H6588 so iniquity H5771 shall not H3808 be H1961 your ruin. H4383
31 Cast away H7993 from H4480 H5921 you H853 all H3605 your transgressions, H6588 whereby H834 ye have transgressed; H6586 and make H6213 you a new H2319 heart H3820 and a new H2319 spirit: H7307 for why H4100 will ye die, H4191 O house H1004 of Israel H3478 ?
32 For H3588 I have no pleasure H2654 H3808 in the death H4194 of him that dieth, H4191 saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD: H3069 wherefore turn H7725 yourselves , and live H2421 ye.
